Trade Help

[Mark_R]

I've got Lugo, Kinsler, and Ramirez all with the potential to man short for me. Lugo is the highest valued player, and Ramirez has the POTENTIAL to put up similar numbers as Lugo. If not, Kinsler is there to help out.

 

That being said, is a guy like Michael Barrett a fair offer for Lugo? Bear in mind, my current catching situation is very "un-ideal". I've got Toby Hall behind the plate in a very deep league with Ryan Doumit (who I previously dropped) on the waiver wire at this point.

Hmm, I'd imagine Barrett would not be enough for Lugo. Toby Hall is red hot and I could see him hitting 15-20 homers and driving in 80 runs. I think Lugo could be used better to upgrade a different position. However, if you decide to do the deal for Barrett, I would also include a decent pitcher of your own and have him include a good pitcher. I'm sure he'll do it if he has a bad SS.

I'd probably do it. Barrett is a top 5 catcher, Lugo is maybe a top 10 SS. I'd play Ramirez/Kinsler at SS and go get Barrett.

Depends on your steals situation.

I have a trade question as well, and didn't feel like starting a new thread. Its a keeper league where you keep all your players. I have Ensberg and the guy with Ramirez is getting impatient with him. Should I swap Ensberg for Ramirez? If I do, I can probably get him to throw in a good prospect or Clemens, and hope he comes back. Soooo what should I do?

I'd jump on that in a heartbeat.

I'd have still have Freel, Hanley Ramirez (about 30 steals worth), and Granderson for steals, would end up around 110 or so for roto.

Be nice if Granderson would actually steal some bases.

[Mark_R]

Stole his third base today, on pace for about 25 or so.

I need a little trade help as well. It's in a dynasty league, which is why I'm even considering the offer. I would get Felix Pie, Joe Crede, and Wade Miller for Morgan Ensberg and Mike Maroth. Am i being a homer and overrating Pie and Miller? I rate Miller about equal to Maroth. I think Ensberg is the perfect sell-high candiate, but I don't know if I'm getting enough. Any opinions?

[Mark_R]

I'd do it. Crede is putting up some really strong numbers this year, and depending on how your league uses first year players, Pie could be very valuable for you for a few years.

Well in this league, once the prospect enters the yahoo database, he has to be added to your roster. So he will have to take up a bench spot, but it's a pretty deep league (18 teams) with a lot of bench spots so I have some guys I can drop.
